Anyone get any Lush gifts?  Buy anything from the UK boxing day sale or going to buy from the US sale?

I was planning on buying from the boxing day sale(s) online but my boyfriend was nice enough to gift me some Lush goodies for Christmas so I think I'm going to sit out the sale.  I have so much bath and body stuff and just got more but this is better for my bank account  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was gifted two sets! 

  • Merry Christmas which included Lord Of Misrule (a favorite), Cinders (smells amazing!), Christmas Eve (also smells amazing), Father Christmas (adorable), and Golden Wonder (my favorite holiday bathbomb :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)
  • Cozy Christmas which included Hot Toddy Shower Gel (sparkly! and nice scent), Butter Bear (I love butterball so I'll love this too), Honey Trap Lip Balm, Yog Nog soap (so pretty), Sympathy for the Skin body lotion (smells amazing and my dry skin needs this)

I can't wait to start using them.  

 
I bought a few bath melts and shower gels from the US site. I bought the items I really wanted back in October when the Christmas items launched (Rose Jam Shower Gel and Celebrate lotion), plus I got Lush goodies for Christmas for the first time ever, so I didn't get too crazy at the sale.

P.S. it looks like the UK site is having some trouble.

 
Got my Lush order placed. Bought 3 shower gels and a gift set with Snow Fairy.... The site was hectic and driving me insane.

 
Picked up the snow fairy gift set and the joy to the world set (almond soap and dream cream)...good enough for me!

 
I snagged a few things. I really wanted the Happy Hannukah set, but it sold out, so I scaled things back and even got smaller shower gels than I had planned:

Originally, I had planned on getting a whole bunch of gift boxes, but then I realized they were bath bomb/solid soap/bubble bar-heavy, and I'm allergic to solid soap, and I'm a shower-only person, so shower gel/jelly it is! And I prefer smaller sizes so I'm not stuck with the same scent for six months. And as SO TIRED of red lip stuff as I am, I love cola-flavored stuff, so here we are.

 
Here's what I got (shopped UK sale). They are having some massive technical issues though, it took me two hours from the time I added everything to cart before I finally was able to pay and receive the confirmation email.

I loaded up my cart last night, and was able to check out with little trouble. I got 2 each of So White, First Snow, Snowcake, Reindeer Rock, and Rosy Christmas. I also managed to get 4 Christmas Hedgehogs, which were in and out and in and out of stock.

 
I haven't bought anything from Lush in about 4 years.  I went crazy buying stuff and then kinda got burn out.  I recently found a rubbermaid container with a few bombs & soaps leftover from 2010. haha 

Today I snagged:

2 - First Snow dusting powders

1 - Hot Toddy shower gel

1 - So White shower gel

I haven't smelled any of these scents so I hope I like them!  

 
For those who made the order on the UK site. Did you receive confirmation email right away? I placed an order and i see a charge on my cc, but no email. wondering if i should redo it?

 
I didn't get anything online, US or UK today. I heard they raised shipping on the UK site (and my bf got me some stuff for my birthday this month and I think his order had higher shipping.)  

My mom and I are hoping the Lush in Pittsburgh Macy's will be okay and still stocked. She got like 14 Cinders last year on the 27th so there's that. 

 
The UK site was a complete **** show this morning.  I had just opted to stay awake and hopefully add items from my wishlist.  Sounds like a good plan, right?  Nope.  The gift sets I had originally wanted from the UK weren't on the sale, so after hours of crashes I was finally able to get the following:

White Christmas gift set

Whoop Whoop gift set

Santa's lip scrub

2 large Snow Fairy gels

From the US site I bought:

4 medium Snow Fairy gels (I'm stocking up - my littlest loves this stuff)

2 large Hot Toddy gels

2 large Rose Jam gels

1 large So White gel

First Snow gift set

Good Tidings gift set

Merry & Bright gift set

Elves' Workshop gift set

2 Rosy Christmas gift sets

I really wish the gift set contents were the same for UK and NA.  I seem to always prefer the contents within the UK sets more than the NA gift sets of the same name.  I didn't so much mind the UK shipping as I was going to end up paying the larger UPS amount anyway.  I wonder why they changed it?  Is it to deter international shoppers?

 
I am not a LUSH fan at all, but I've been lusting after the Holly Golightly Bubble Bar all season, since Breakfast At Tiffany's  and Audrey Hepburn were favorites of my Dad's. I was pretty disappointed when my hubby didn't get one for my stocking, so this afternoon I braved the LUSH store and picked up the Bubble Bar and a First Snow Dusting Powder.

Now it will probably be a decade or more before I shop at LUSH again. :lol:

yes- it is to deter international shoppers. when i went to checkout they has a line that said said as of nov 1st all international orders would be more expensive- basically to deter people from ordering from the uk site bc its cheaper :|
